[Gralamin]

I had a question about your desperation attacks, and how it relates to the game (FFVI).

In the game, Terra's Riot blade dealt damage to and poisoned each enemy. Celes's Spin Edge, Cyan's Backblade, Edgar's Royal Shock, Gogo's X-Meteor and Setzer's Red Card hit multiple enemies. Relm's Star Prism and Strago's SabreSoul instantly killed the enemy, instead of massive damage. Mog's Moogle Rush, Sabin's Tiger Break, Shadow's Shadow Fang, and Locke's Mirager Dealt major damage to enemies.

Desperation attack Does seem to mimic some of them, and is powerful, but I can't help but wonder why you generalized the entire cast's special abilities like that.

Honestly, as much as I love FFVI, the Desperation attacks come up so rarely, & the PC's classes are so nebulously defined, I felt that it wasn't very important to flesh out each permutation on it; most of them just destroy one enemy. I may go back & expand upon it later (most likely based on class). Thanks for the information, though; that the most concise & clear description of the various Desperations that I have seen.
